Stewart Brand Meets The Cybernetic Counterculture

Book excerpt - "Like a cross between a touring rock entourage and a commune, USCO was more than a performance team. It was a social system unto itself. Through it, Brand encountered the works of Norbert Wiener, Marshall McLuhan, and Buckminster Fuller - all of whom would become key influences on the Whole Earth community - and began to imagine a new synthesis of cybernetic theory and countercultural politics." (Fred Turner - EDGE)
